These community based, non denominational, not-for-profit music groups are for people who love to play and sing. We offer friendship, lively, non-auditioned fun, and we also aim to perform to a high standard! During the weekly sessions, members learn a true variety of pieces, from classical to popular and everything in between.
So, if you come, what can you expect? The answer is a warm welcome from everyone! You will very soon feel valued, and a friend to many members. Our musical tradition is to bring out the very best in our music, enthusiastically challenging ourselves, through a combination of encouragement and musical discipline.
Interested? We'd love to welcome you - please contact us to see if we have space, sometimes there is a waiting list. You can come to the first rehearsal free of charge, to become familiar with us and the way we work, before committing yourself to joining us.
